Need some help from you Aussies. One talking point here in Europe - TopicsExpress



          

Need some help from you Aussies. One talking point here in Europe is that the new Australian Prime Minister has a cabinet of 18 men and only one woman. So Australia has fewer women in senior portfolios than Afghanistan. Correct? Is it true that Mr Abbott said "there are some very good and talented women knocking on the door of the cabinet and the ministry"? And is it also true that Mr Abbott has 12 Parliamentary Secretaries - that is, MPs being groomed to be ministers - and 11 of these are men? So is this the most male-dominated government of any Western democracy since 1915?
